Latest Korg Gadget ~ Ableton Live 9 ~  Arturia  ARP2600 & MiniMoog @ YouTube ✌

That fragile moment of freedom in between the notes! 

Long time did not capture my Cordoba KOA Edition nylon-string guitar. That day found guitar with a broken string, but it still had 5 more, so did not stop the inspiration. Backing track is tweaked NI Picked Nylon picking and Korg Gadget project on iPhoneX. Played guitar, recorded  sound in parallel into direct interface and a also room mic to capture the atmos and happy-little-accidents. Mastered with UA Oxide Tape, IK, and FabFilters in Live 11. New track will go to Uplifting Chillout album titled "Love", some day, maybe. TNX!

Life is busy. I make software that Apple designers use make their chips. This track is made on iPhone with Korg Gadget app and uploaded directly to GadgetCloud. Same way as 8 years ago, when I joined SoundCloud. Cover photo of Gadget project on iPhone made with the same iPhone. Cheers!  

Endless Light will become part of my future Impressions album along with (tracks that also made on the Korg Gdaget on iPhone/iPad):

Endless Light

Check my YouTube channel for some Depeche Mode tunes playing captured on iPad with iOS 11 official recorder:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-6av81MiNw&list=PLiPHwi5RqOnK05Gqpcr8owsxC7cYcV0Lw&index=1

I grabbed kick and snare, tweaked bass synth for a jamming in Korg Gadget app on iPhone 6s. My Depeche Mode piece of DNA turned the thing into a session of interpretation for “I See You” too fast. I noticed the hook turns alike this fab song from my fav 1982 album “A Broken Frame”. I submit and had a blast!

100% organic Korg Gadget sound. Literally two lines. Drum and Bass (but not that DnB one). First is drum machine spirited beats, London. Second bad ass bass from gadget Dublin. Single bass track because synth notes choke and fight each other this way. Small post treatment in Ableton Live 9.7 for more fun. British and White Channel compressors by IK Multimedia. T-Racks Classic EQ, Plate and Hall Reverb CSR, Quad Image IK tools. Automated.

Lyrics: 
All I want to do is bass you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just wanna play your sweet bass
You never heard in years before

I can keep it in a distance, cos I don’t trust my resistance
But I swear I will touch you…. 

Well I know 35 years is a long time
And that times change (oh that times change)
But I think that you will find - People are People 
Depeche Mode people basically the same

Depeche Mood

I took this photo in the waves of Sugar Beach, Maui 2017. Cover available on my pixabay https://pixabay.com/en/wave-maui-beach-ocean-island-2818291/

Collab is the best value of SoundCloud! Cheers

The track is in 3/4, at 134bpm. All simplified and consists even 12 bar parts, with drums and bass/pads bits somewhat evolving. You can mix and match anything into a sequence you like, or follow this structure to play/sing along. If you like, send me your new stems, I can add to the stem pack, so others can use it too. Thank YOU!
Started this track out of the blue the other day, planning on playing some Blues, but it turned into this. Then I came across this waves photo I like... So the backtrack name is combination of all those things :) 

Musically yours,
Sam.

Sam Prock - Out Of Blue (Open Collab Invite)

This track is dedicated to our cat Max 🐱  Real hunter, half stray/ferret cat, brave character. We did not buy or adopt him. Young fella adopted us, coming one time to stay for good. Cleaned two blocks around which is all his territory now. He lost left eye in his streets battles last year. Now looks around even when eats from his bowl. Cat's life ain't easy.... :)

All sound is 100% organic Korg Gadget app on iPad. Mixing and mastering Ableton Live 9. 133.3Bpm

If you like to play this tune over your YouTube cats videos, just ask me for permission. No royalty, so you can monetize it (after legally downloading track and contacting me)
